Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Chapter 34: Chapter 32: Mistress’s Teachings

If only Qin Yu had joined the Danxin Herb Hall earlier, would they have been bullied at their doorstep?

Yin Qinghe felt a sense of joy, but more so worry.

Those who want to consume the Danxin Herb Hall will not sit idly by as they grow.

Qin Yu, Zhao Mengli.

It’s still uncertain if Qin Yu can become an Alchemist, Yin Qinghe hasn’t inquired about his situation in this regard, only hearing that his root bone... is quite poor.

Root bone.

It is also Yin Qinghe’s shortcoming. Because she only has a Middle Grade Mortal Bone, her cultivation couldn’t advance further than the First Layer, making it impossible to refine elixirs.

The third step, Pellet Formation, is different from alchemy and purification.

Pellet Formation needs to be accomplished in one go!

The entire process consumes a tremendous amount of Spiritual Power and mental strength, only cultivators above the Qi Refining Eighth Layer can barely manage.

Barely manage!

Under normal circumstances, it requires a Peak Qi Refining Realm and a High Tier entry-level mental strength for a higher success rate in Pellet Formation!

However, how many of the cultivators left in Lin Xian City because they couldn’t be selected by an Immortal Sect can reach the Qi Refining Peak Realm?!

This is one important reason why there are so few Alchemists in the city!

Due to her root bone, Yin Qinghe’s cultivation has been stagnant at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer for many years.

No matter how many Spirit Stones she has, they cannot fill the defect of her root bone!

Her meridians and dantian simply cannot withstand the Eighth Layer of Spiritual Qi. If she forcibly breaks through, it will lead to broken meridians and a destroyed dantian.

Qin Yu’s situation is somewhat different. With his talent that has emerged, at the very least, there’s no problem for his mental strength to ascend another level.

By then, if he can purify a Third Grade medicinal liquid, he will be able to support the Danxin Herb Hall!

As for Zhao Mengli, it’s not that her talent is poor, but rather her growth takes too long.

If I can break through to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer and refine elixirs, maybe I can solve this crisis.

But, that’s just wishful thinking.

Yin Qinghe sighed and then noticed her clothes seemed a bit tight!

Looking down, Yin Qinghe’s charming face suddenly turned a shade of unnatural red.

Her flirtatious eyes glared shyly and angrily, only to find Qin Yu had already lowered his head silently, pretending to look at the bottle of medicinal liquid!

This... rebellious disciple!

Is he really that interested in such trivial things?!

Wanting to scold, but Yin Qinghe couldn’t blame Qin Yu; she could only blame Li’Er for pulling her clothes in front of the disciple like this!

So disgraceful!

”Junior Brother, can you tell me how you did it?” Zhao Mengli was still chattering beside Qin Yu.

Although Qin Yu deliberately kept some physical distance with this senior sister, their situation seemed somewhat ambiguous in Yin Qinghe’s eyes.

Yin Qinghe wanted to say something to remind them, but in the end, she only opened her mouth without uttering a word.

In her heart, she thought it was time to teach her daughter about these things!

Fortunately, Qin Yu knew his limits.

Seeing him being pestered endlessly, with a face full of embarrassment not knowing how to answer, Yin Qinghe spoke up to rescue him, ”Enough!”

”There are no shortcuts in technique, only through constant practice can you comprehend on your own...”

Qin Yu felt that what his mentor said was very true.

He practiced and practiced until he gradually mastered it; without practice, he couldn’t achieve it in one step.

Second Grade medicinal liquid!

Looking at the medicinal liquid in his hand, Qin Yu couldn’t help but show joy.

If purifying a First Grade medicinal liquid could ensure he didn’t have to worry about his livelihood, then now, even if he used Spirit Stones freely for cultivation, he wouldn’t have to worry about running out.

Second Grade medicinal liquid can sell for a whopping fifty coins per bottle!

Two bottles equal one Lower Grade Spirit Stone!

And the cost is only five coins!

Ten times the profit!

In other words, even without accommodation arranged by the Danxin Herb Hall, he could bring Lin Qianqian and her sisters to live in the city.

The feeling of earning Spirit Stones in abundance...

So good!

And the one who brought all this about was the mentor in front of him.

Qin Yu is someone who knows to repay kindness; his mentor’s selflessness... helped him greatly.

How should he repay this kindness from his mentor?

He was perplexed.

When Qin Yu looked at Yin Qinghe, he saw that his mentor had already tidied her collar, with a solemn face, advising, ”Although you have high comprehension, in the path of alchemy, there is still much you need to learn, and you must not become complacent!”

”To become a real alchemist, you need talent in mental strength, and your cultivation realm must not lag behind either!”

”At your age, only at the Qi Refining Second Layer, you must use your time wisely and not waste your energy on other matters...”

At this moment, she truly had the aura of a strict teacher.

”Disciple will remember the mentor’s teachings!”

Qin Yu certainly understood his mentor’s earnest intentions.

Honestly, in that brief moment just now, he indeed felt a bit complacent, almost forgetting that he was still a junior cultivator at the Qi Refining Second Layer.

Moreover, although he can purify Second Grade medicinal liquid now, he is still far inferior compared to his mentor!

Qin Yu’s attitude softened Yin Qinghe’s expression, and her tone became gentle, ”If you want to improve your realm, you need Spirit Stones.”

As she spoke, she took out a box and handed it to Qin Yu, ”This is one hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones, consider it an advance from the herb hall, take it and use it first!”

”Thank you, mentor!”

Qin Yu quickly thanked her.

This way, he could fully concentrate on improving his cultivation!

”What kind of root bone do you have?”

In casual words, Yin Qinghe asked, but inside she began to feel tense.

She was nervous, afraid of hearing an answer she didn’t want to hear.

Afraid this would all just be an illusion!

”Root bone?”

Qin Yu instinctively glanced at the flame, his mind racing, but in the end, he told the truth, ”Top Grade Mortal Bone!”

Above mortal bone is Spirit Bone!

With a Spirit Bone, one can be chosen as an Immortal Seed and enter an Immortal Sect.

If he said he had a Spirit Bone now, first, he didn’t understand Spirit Bones, and second, he couldn’t explain it to the Immortal Sects.

In truth, having a Top Grade Mortal Bone and still being at the Qi Refining Second Layer is also quite unconvincing.

”Top Grade Mortal Bone?!”

Yin Qinghe’s beautiful eyes widened, filled with delight, yet deep down held a hint of doubt.

”Yes.”

Qin Yu then provided an explanation, ”As a disciple, I’ve been focusing on enhancing my mental strength over the years, slightly neglecting cultivation...”

”I see!”

This explanation, although a bit stretched, was something Yin Qinghe could accept.

Without guidance, relying on himself to enhance his mental strength to a Middle Tier, ignoring realm improvement, this was understandable.

If Qin Yu truly possesses a Top Grade Mortal Bone, coupled with his current talent in mental strength, becoming an alchemist in the future is practically certain!

Yin Qinghe’s breath became slightly hurried.
